#kaito: ITS NOT BOYFRIEND ITS

[str8upspam]

Guys I keep thinking about what a missed opportunity it was for Lucas to be fluent in japanese

Like imagine if he was still studying it and wasn't fluent

And he just constantly calls Kaito his bf to distinguish between him and mc

Like "yes this is my male friend kaito and this is my female friend mc"

Tbh I'm not good at japanese so idk how well it would work

[vinxle]

the sheer amount of i've-got-bitches-itis shuichi has during drv3 extras is actually making my head spin like

okay you teal haired twink

[ilikemenjamin]

i think my failguys would listen to terrible music. spencer would like radiohead probably.

To Crave and To Yearn (Tokyo Debunkers)

Pairing: Haku x Reader

Word Count: 1.8k

Warnings: Some suggestive & sexual content

A/N: Happy birthday Haku!! I think you're very giggles and kicks feet

Ever since your mission with Hotarubi, you've been hanging around there more often. It was a breath of fresh air to have ghouls that actually valued who you were and your safety. Not to mention, their dorms were calming to be in. A true joy. You sat in the tea room, sipping on some blend that Subaru had made.

"How have you been?" Haku asked, sitting across from you. His gaze was focused on papers in front of him.

You hummed and set your teacup down. "Honestly, I want to get off campus. I feel like I'm being suffocated."

"Really?" He shuffled through the papers and picked one out. "But the campus is huge. It's odd for you to feel that way."

"I guess I want to be in the real world for a bit."

Sure, you went out to the real world during missions. But it wasn't the same. You wanted to walk around the city, go to cafes, go shopping. Like a normal person. Being surrounded by supernatural dangers constantly was taking its toll. Not to mention, you felt somewhat jealous whenever you saw Shu and Leo just leaving campus whenever they wanted and having fun. You wanted to have fun too.

"You know, a new cat cafe opened up in Tokyo. We can go visit."

You sighed and shook your head, leaning back. "It's fine. It's too much of a hassle to get a permit."

Haku frowned. "Let me handle it. I'll get the permit, take you out, and we can have fun. No missions, no ghouls."

You gave him a playful smile. "You're a ghoul, Haku."

He let out a chuckle. Despite your initial complaining, you didn't seem too closed off to the idea. It would be fun, afterall. Haku’s eyes traveled over your form. God, he wanted to be your boyfriend. He wanted to hold your hand, to walk with you to classes. He wanted to take you on dates, to see you blush. He wanted to see those pretty lips of yours to call his name, to moan, to whimper. To wrap around- 

Too far. He shook his head and gave you a lazy smile. “So it’s a date?”

"Sure, why not?" You said, chugging the rest of your tea. You stood up. "Speaking of dates, I have a study date with Kaito."

"Sure." His eyes darkened for just a moment. "I'll text you."

You were grateful for Haku. He had always been there for you since the beginning. Even when you wanted to run away, he was there by your side. You didn't even realize how much you relied on him. On his calm demeanor and his wise words. Without Haku, you probably would have gone insane long ago.

You found yourself looking forward to this outing. It would take at least a week to get the permit. That whole week, you were jumpy and excited. Everyone had started to take notice. For some reason, you kept it secret. You knew that someone would want to tag along. It wasn't as if you didn't want that… no, it was. You didn't want anyone to tag along. You wanted it to be just you and Haku. No one else. 

When the day finally came, you went to the station a bit early to meet with Haku. And to your surprise, he was already there. It was odd to see him in his casual clothes. A neatly ironed white button down, stylish forest green pants, his hair nicely styled. He looked good. You walked up to him with a smile. He turned to you, blinking. His eyes lit up as he studied you. A blush spread across your cheeks and you turned away. You sheepishly stepped closer to him.

"Hi."

"Hi." He replied, smiling down at you. "You look… cute."

You didn't know how to react and just muttered out a thanks. Haku led you onto the train and towards the bench. When you sat down, he sat close to you. His shoulder was touching yours. Okay, this vibe was definitely more than friendly. When he said it was a date, you thought it was just a joking comment. But now you were positive that this was, in fact, a date. 

Nerves washed over you. How were you supposed to act now? Your eyes traveled over to him. He was staring at you. Shit. He was staring at you. Your hands started to sweat. This was fine. Just act like you normally do. Haku wouldn't judge you. He totally wouldn't act like you're some weirdo and lose any positive feelings for you.

"Ah!" He took out his phone and opened it. After tapping the screen several times, he tilted it towards you. "This is what they sell at the cat cafe. Basically you play with the cats first then we can eat and stuff."

You leaned closer to him. The sweet and fresh scent of his cologne hit his nose. "Oh, the food looks good! Does anything catch your eye?"

"You."

"Huh?" You turned your head to look at him. His face was close to yours.

"I said that the parfaits look good."

He leaned back, putting his phone in his pocket. He turned back to the front and crossed his arms. Haku was definitely playing with you. Your face flushed red and you turned your attention back as well. Haku made small conversation on the way to the cafe. Just simple stuff. Classes, new friends, what ghouls are causing you trouble. It was like he didn't notice how nervous and flustered you were. Or maybe he did and he just didn't want to embarrass you any further.

Haku said your name loudly, causing you to blink. "The kitty wants attention."

You looked down at the kitten that was meowing in your lap, trying to crawl up your shirt. "Oh. Sorry, little kitten."

You reached down and started to pet it. You gazed over at Haku. He had a cat in his lap, purring as it nuzzled against its palm. A flash of jealousy passed through you. It wouldn't be so bad to be that cat. You looked down at the kitten and lifted it, bringing it close to your face. It licked your nose, making you scrunch it up.

"Aww, you're such a cute kitty!" You giggled.

"I think you'd make a cute kitty."

Your head whipped over to him. "What did you say?"

Haku grinned at you. "I said that cute kitty would make a good pet."

He was most definitely fucking with you. You frowned and turned away from him. "Stop teasing me."

He scooted closer to you. "Why? It's fun?"

You let out a squeal. After protectively holding the kitten against your chest, you shot him a glare. He grinned. He was most definitely enjoying this. That feeling rose up again. The feeling of wanting to tease you over and over. Until you were a begging mess, staring up at him with those big cute eyes of yours. God, he wanted you so badly.

"Shall we eat?"

You huffed but nodded. You set the kitten down and took Haku's hand. He led you over to the cafe area. Now that it was practically confirmed this was a date, you had calmed down. Only a little. There was something about Haku's teasing that had made your nerves alleviate. Besides, you trusted him. Even if this day turned out bad, you knew you two would be friends still. He wasn't the type of person to just ghost you. Well, he was a ghoul. So he would ghoul you. Yeah.

After you two ate, you spent time exploring the city. Partway through, Haku had wrapped his hand around yours. He said it was so you wouldn't get lost in the crowd, but you knew better. Your fingers were intertwined tightly with his. By the time the two of you got back on your train, you had a smile on your face that just wouldn't go away.

Haku's arm was wrapped around your shoulder as you leaned against him. You were tired but happy. It really was a much needed day out. He let out a pleased hum and pulled you closer. This was nice. This was exactly what you needed. Haku. You needed Haku.

"Thank you for doing this." You mumbled.

He sighed softly and nodded. "Of course. Anytime."

"This… This was a date. Right?'

"If you wanted it to be."

"Haku!" You scoffed and sat up. "Be serious."

He didn't like that you scooted away from him. HIs arm brought you down to him once again. "Yes. It was a date."

"Okay."

"That's all you have to say? Okay?" He snorted. 

"Yeah. It was… okay. Nothing special."

Haku rolled his eyes. "Are you teasing me?"

"Maybe."

"We can't have that."

He grabbed your chin lightly and coaxed your gaze to his. Your breath caught in your throat as he leaned in and brushed his lips against yours. It was at this moment you were glad no one else was on the train. You leaned in and pressed your lips against his. The kiss was soft, the lingering taste of sweets on his lips from the cafe food. A shiver ran down your spine as he tried to pull you impossibly closer.

This was heaven. His lip brushed against your bottom lip, asking for access. You parted your lips and tilted your head, deepening the kiss. Haku groaned and pushed you backwards until you were laying on the seats. His body adjusted so he was hovering over you, his knee pressing into you. Your mind was starting to melt. You wanted more. You craved more. Your hands traveled down to his chest.

"You have now arrived at Darkwick Academy."

The doors dinged and slid open. You could hear a hiss of disgust. "Seriously? In public?"

Your face turned a dark red as you shoved Haku off you and to the ground. Ren was standing there, his lip curled in disdain. You quickly stood up and brushed yourself off, mumbling an apology. Haku's face was dusted a light pink as he tried to hold back his laughter. After he stood, he grabbed your hand and led you off the train.

"That was so embarrassing!" You groaned, squeezing your eyes shut.

Haku chuckled. "Your expression was priceless!"

"It was your fault for getting so handsy!"

"Yeah? So you don't want to kiss me again?"

"I never said that!"

"Good." 

Haku pulled you in for yet another kiss. His hands gripped your hips as he tugged you close once again. Oh god. You were going to get addicted if he kept doing this. And for some reason, you knew that's what he wanted. Your hands gripped his shirt tightly, wrinkling the fabric. It took everything in your power to push him away.

"Wanna come over?" You mumbled, looking away. "I have tea."

"Don't mind if I do."

His arm wrapped around your waist as the two of you walked off towards your dorm. Your heart was pounding in your chest and your hands were shaking, but you couldn't be happier. Meanwhile, Ren stared out the train window as it slowly pulled out of the station. He was absolutely repulsed. Witnessing an intense makeout session was not on his list for the day.

[the-fandom-is-now-my-life]

Won't say I'm in love

Your friend asks about your crush and why you haven't confessed yet, so what is your reasoning

It's most of them but whatever

Jin

“Don't even think about pushing me to confess”

“Why not? He treats you so nice~” she lifts her fingers as she counts “bought you a few pairs of dresses for the gala, protected you in vagastorm, lent you a boat for a mission”

Tired you interrupt her with your reasons “First, I want to get married and I doubt he either wants to marry or he doesn't have already some arranged marriage type of deal” you lift two fingers as you refer to the two possibilities “and I think his dad would hate me, honestly” she rolls her eyes, knowing from what you told her he wouldn't really care what he thought.

“And your second excuse?”

You stay silent for a second but look into her eyes “And second, there is a non zero chance that he might be making me fall so I can potentiate his stigma” your friend pats your back, sensing how your mood went sour.

Kaito

“I do find his neediness cute! Yeah, chase after me and ask me my number and tell me I'm the prettiest in this school!” you clap your hands together and anchor them to your knees, looking like a businessman selling a hard proposal to shareholders “but that loses its charm when it's every other girl that looks at him, I like loser men when they are desperate for me, not in general”

Luca

“I like Luca, that is a fact, but he is already so burdened by search for his brother that I doubt he is even interested in romance or anything like that”

Your friend bites into her veggie sandwich and looks at you doubtful “and you don't want to try because you don't want the confirmation or are you a coward?”

Sighing into your hands you continue “and even if he was into romance and liked me back I wouldn't want to burden him with my curse”

“And you think you should be the only one deciding that?” she continues to judge you making you whine a little ‘i hate you’

Leo

“He is an asshole” you say plain and simple, making your friend launch forward holding her stomach “he isn't really that much nicer to Sho, who is his best friend, he is always pushing him around and ordering him to do things. Plus the bet he made with me makes it sound like he would never fall for me” your friend nods along to your reasoning “I think I'm happy enough being delulu when he grabs me as his girlfriend for his videos”

Sho

“He looks at you with so tenderly~ please you can't deny it”

“I mean he is very sweet and takes me on rides with Bonnie but there is just a little something that makes me uneasy” her head leans to the left curious “Ren told me he used to be a Casanova a few years back, that is making me a bit resistant to accepting my feelings”

She rolls her eyes, were you truly thinking so hard about his smack talk? “And you are taking his word for real? For all that you know he could be salty he isn't good at flirting”

“Given my situation I don't think I would be able to deal with a heartbreak right now”

Haru

“He is just so busy, working from the break of dawn to dusk, I would hate to give him the burden of a partner”

“Then why don't you ease his work a bit?”

“My only ability is potentiate stigmas, nothing that could help protect me, and there is a reason there aren't any general students in jabberwock. At most I could cook for them and feed peekaboo”

“And you aren't happy with helping him with that?”

You snort, fed up with her not understanding your point “I know Haru, he would overexert himself even more trying to be a good boyfriend”

Towa

“I mean…” you say jokingly after she asked you why you don't confess to Towa. She laughs in response “I'm just going to say that it almost feels like I'm fighting a war for his interest and the other party doesn care, yet I'm still losing” she laughs under her hand, trying to keep it down. You look at her seeking confirmation “doesn't it look like it? I gave him flowers and he fed me one and left to share with Haru the others”

“That even hurt me”

“So, yeah, not a very promising future even if he accepts my confession”

Ren

“Do you like charity cases or something?” her eyes widened, stunned, when you told her about your crush.

“Can't you be a little nicer? It isn't like I was going to confess for real”

“Why? I doubt he gets much romantic attention, he most likely would accept” you kick her under the table causing her to look at you offended.

“it's just that I already have a negative forecast for the end of this year and his negativity can be cute like, yeah keep bitching about the wifi speed, gamer boy” you laugh a little “but at some point it's tiring, like I want to hang out, can you not whine about the sun? It might be just another annoying day for him but it's one day less for me”

Taiga

You look at her as if she lost her mind. “You want me to confess to Taiga, Taiga Hoshibami, who can't even remember my name?”

“Maybe he will remember you if you give him matching trinkets” she rubs her shoulder against yours, playfully teasing about your crush.

“My goodness, it will be more likely that the cure is found so drop it”

“Well then let's bet, if Yuri finds you a cure you will have to confess, if he doesn't I won't” you whine about it but in the end accept.

Ritsu

A hand lays on your friend's shoulder making her turn “Yesterday I did as you told me and I asked him if he wanted to stay and drink coffee at my dorm after we did some work” your friend now looks interested at any update on your love life but looking at your face she already knows it isn't anything good “he looked me straight in the eye and deadpan said ‘Do you have something you want to consult with me? You already know my fee, right?’ I wanted to die of embarrassment!”

“Well, why not be more direct?”

“I told him two compliments, ‘you look so good in your suit today!’ and ‘the sinostra tie color makes your eyes pop’ and he looked at me weirdly” you rest your head on your friend's shoulder, her hand sliding up and down your back “and don't even propose being more direct because I'm so sure he would file for sexual harassment it isn't even funny” you both laugh at your despair

Rui

Your friend looks wide eyed at your refusal to

“He does flirt with me and makes me all giggly and my cheeks heat up, but he flirts as a joke with quite a few people so I might be misunderstanding the situation”

“The one who kills whatever he touches and the one who is going to die! Pretty matching curses if I say so myself, almost destiny” she elbows your ribs to attempt to make you laugh but rather she sees your hurt expression “ill timed joke. Sorry”

“You are so stupid”

Yuri

“Stop judging me!”

She looks at you oddly “is this something like reverse nightingale syndrome or something?” She teases “I personally can't really see what you see, he yells all the time and acts all high and mighty”

You gasp offended “that is not true! He was so vulnerable with me during one check up on mortkraken I just couldn't help my heart” you remember him telling you about how he wasn't able to help his mother get better and how guilty he felt because of it and almost implied he would make it up curing your curse “I just don't want to put more pressure on him to investigate and make him lose more sleep over it, it's one thing to lose a patient and another one to lose a significant other”

Jiro

“no but listen to me,” you tap her side with your hand “do I think Jiro is handsome physically? Yeah, very much. Do I think his personality is adorable and cute? Of course! Does that equal me confessing to him? As if!” your friend laughs and leans backwards while holding her stomach “he told me he had no attachment to food or clothing or whatever! Am I supposed to think he can have romantic feelings after that statement?” you exclaim waiting for any type of answer from your friend who only nods along, recognizing you had a point.

dating shuichi saihara 🔍

I JUST WANNA BE PART OF YOUR SYMPHONY 🐬🐬🐬‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥 / sorry guys i tried to be professional but i always end up doing jokes :((

a total gentleman; respects your privacy and space, won’t be all over you, startle you or anything— just tell him you want to be alone for a while and shuichi won’t press further

shy though, shuichi is like those boyfriends who do their best to treat their partner the way they deserve but are somewhat clumsy too

like he would pull a chair for you, open and close the car doors, but if you’re both about to enter a mall for example, shuichi would push a pull door and pull one that says push.. its out of his nervousness though please comfort this guy he needs it

helps you with your homework if you ask, even if you meant it as a joke shuichi would take it seriously and go over to where you are, begin reading + explain the best he can

the type to not give you the answers directly...he wants you to try and do it yourself but will give you hints/examples of his for you to have an idea of knowing what to do

insecure, has a lot to do with his trauma. shuichi feels inferior you could say, feels as if he isn’t enough and weak, doesn’t voice it out loud though, worries you might think less of him if he talks about it

gets embarrassed easily when it comes to physical contact, even a slight brushing of your hands already has this boy blushing and heart pounding against his chest

the longer you two date, shuichi will get more comfortable. in terms of holding hands, cuddling, kissing too; in the start there will just be small pecks here and there at times, has a habit of hiding his face under his hat after a kiss

when shuichi is anxious, holding hands or just placing your hand above his calms him down a lot, if you give him a kiss it will make him snap out of it, especially if you do it out of nowhere

dating shuichi means being around kaito and kaede constantly, but not to a point where it’s suffocating and you both never have a moment alone, the two are aware of it so it’s more like some hangouts on most days while others are just you and shuichi chilling together

probably researches about stuff like ‘how to be a good boyfriend’ and asks his friends about it—mostly to kaito—who tells him things such as, “you gotta be more manly!” or “if you want to have a lasting relationship you need to work on those muscles, i’ll be your leader”

gives you gifts, could be a bouquet of your favorite flowers to a book/game you wanted or a snack you like, shuichi doesn’t want you to think he’s bad at expressing his love for you so he spends time reading about relationships if he has free time and you aren’t near him

kinda dry with his texts...but not in a bad way, shuichi is still learning after all so he will still be clueless at times

by dry, i mean like “BABYYYYY LOOK AT THIS LMAOOO ITS SO FUNNY AHAHAHAJ” – you

“lol” – him 😭

it’s okay though he’s still trying his best to be a good boyfriend

is so in love with you <3

Two weeks of longing

I’m excited to share my first fanfiction on Tumblr with you, which came out of an exchange with the talented @justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms and takes place right after the events of her story 'Locked In'. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

It’s been two weeks since Sho confessed his feelings to you. Two weeks during which you’ve constantly smiled to yourself, recalling that moment in the storage room. The warmth of his touch during your hug, his gentle smile, and the slight blush that colored his cheeks. And the promise you both made to somehow repay Leo one day.

How you longed to spend time with him—talk with him, eat with him, hug him, or even just watch him cook. But the past few days had been so stressful and eventful that Sho’s food truck, and even Sho himself, remained nothing more than a mirage of your longing. Besides the few messages you exchanged daily, you barely had time to think about anything remotely resembling free time.

You were running errands for what felt like every single house, but these tasks didn’t bring you any closer to breaking your curse. Instead, you were wasting your time on mind-numbing paperwork or ominous errands.

It was already dark outside, and the campus was deserted. With a sigh, you sat down on a bench near your dorm, and for the first time in hours, you finally checked your phone. Several unread messages from Luca and Kaito. And three from Sho. You immediately opened the chat.

“Hey, do you think you can drop by the truck this afternoon?”

“Guess that’s a no. Please don’t overwork yourself, okay? Let me know when you’re free, just so I know you’re alright.”

“I really don’t want to sound like the embarrassing, overly worried boyfriend, but I’m genuinely concerned about you, Eren. If you need to talk, I’m here for you.”

You read the messages in Sho’s voice in your head. At the word “boyfriend,” you felt your heart race, and a smile spread across your face. Although you had only recently become a couple, the thought that you could actually call Sho your boyfriend was still something special to you, giving you butterflies.

You held the phone to your chest and gazed up at the sky. There was nothing you wanted more than to lean on Sho’s shoulder and share your troubles with him. But on the other hand, you didn’t want to burden him unnecessarily or drag him down. After all, he surely had his own problems, and you didn’t want to be the girlfriend associated with nothing but complaints. No, if you ever had time together again, it should be something relaxing and pleasant.

As you drifted off in thought, staring at the stars and imagining your next meeting with Sho, you briefly forgot about the world around you.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were ignoring me.”

You jumped when you heard Sho’s playful tone. He had already arrived at the bench and sat down close enough for you to feel his comforting warmth.

“I’m so sorry! I was going to reply, but it was already so late, and…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You don’t have to explain yourself. I’m just glad to see you’re still alive. Are you alright?”

You noticed his tilted head and the skeptical glance he gave your phone, which you were still holding against your chest.

“Of course! I was just lost in thought, that’s all.”

You blushed, feeling slightly caught. As you lowered the phone to your lap, revealing the open chat, he grinned at you briefly but quickly turned serious again.

“Seriously. I can tell something’s wrong. Talk to me.”

Even though you had intended to gather yourself before sharing your worries with him, your emotions suddenly overwhelmed you, and tears that had long been suppressed began to flow. The ignored stress finally took its toll.

“Hey, hey! It’s okay. Just breathe.”

He pulled you into a hug as you tried to cover your eyes with your hands. Despite the embarrassment of having such an emotional outburst in front of him, you savored the closeness of his embrace. With each breath, your breathing became more regular, and a sense of calm slowly spread within you.

When you had calmed down a bit, you turned towards him without raising your eyes, removed your hands from your face, and returned his embrace. Your grip tightened as you buried your face in his chest.

You stayed like that in silence for a while, until you were sure your tears had dried. Then, you loosened the hug to look him in the eyes. He gazed at you with his beautiful eyes, which sparkled almost like amethyst, and gently brushed a strand of hair from your face.

You began to tell him, with a now more controlled voice, about everything that had happened recently. About the captains and vice-captains who were driving you nearly insane, and your growing fear that all efforts to break the curse would ultimately be in vain. As you shared everything with him, he held your hand in his, resting on his lap. Even though you hadn’t had much time together as a couple, his touch didn’t feel strange. All his gestures felt natural. As if it had always been this way.

“If only Taiga hadn’t killed that damn anomaly back then. I would’ve gotten rid of the curse by now.”

Sho’s expression turned slightly melancholic. Although he was smiling, his eyes seemed rather sad.

“True. If I had been there, I might have strangled Taiga myself. I know it’s totally selfish… But if I’m honest, the thought of you forgetting me too isn’t exactly a pleasant one.”

You looked at him, surprised. It wasn’t as if you hadn’t thought about it before, but ultimately, what you’d said earlier was more of an offhand comment than something you genuinely meant. You hadn’t expected it to have such an effect on Sho.

“I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. To be completely honest… the fact that my path led me to you is the only comfort in this whole mess.”

It was hard for you to express the words so openly, but you didn’t want Sho to feel like your time together meant nothing to you, even though your curse still hung over your future like a sword of Damocles. In fact, you couldn’t even imagine going back to your old life and just leaving behind everything you’d already built here in Darkwick.

Sho gave you his warmest smile. He clearly recognized the effort it took for you to say those words. He lifted his arm and gently stroked your cheek.

“Don’t think for a second that you’re getting rid of me that easily. We’ll find another way. Promise.” His smile turned into a confident grin as he stood up and offered you his hand. With the other hand, he picked up a plastic bag that had been lying next to him the whole time. You couldn’t see what was inside. “Come on, it’s really late. I’ll walk you back to your dorm. You need to get a good night’s sleep.”

You took his hand and noticed the bag he had with him, which you only now realized. “Did you go shopping for supplies?”

“Pfft, at this hour? That’s food for you, idiot. I bet you’re not even having proper breakfasts these days. Put it in the fridge and at least eat something decent in the morning before you tackle your next round of challenges.”

Mentally, you wanted to jump into his arms and ask him to marry you, but you kept that image to yourself this time, settling for a playful “Yes, sir.”

You almost felt sad when you reached the entrance of your dorm and turned to say goodbye to him. You had walked hand in hand the whole way, something you’d thoroughly enjoyed. Judging by the firmness of his grip, he didn’t seem to mind holding hands either. Would he do that even if other people were around?

He placed the bag in your hand, and you shared a few tender moments just looking at each other. It almost scared you how much just seeing him could make your heart race. But something in Sho’s expression told you that he was feeling a bit nervous too.

“Well then. Goodnight, Eren. Make sure you take enough breaks, understood?”

“I will. Goodnight. And thank you. For everything.”

Sho continued to look deep into your eyes. He placed his hand on your cheek and slowly but firmly pulled you closer as your faces drew nearer.

Instinctively, you closed your eyes as your heart leapt. Your lips met in a gentle kiss. At first, the kiss felt a bit tentative, but when Sho sensed that you were comfortable with it, he leaned in a little more, his other hand slipping to the nape of your neck, gently running through your long hair. You tilted your head slightly to deepen the kiss a bit, savoring the warmth of his soft lips for just a moment longer. You wrapped your arms around his waist, pulling yourself closer to him.

When you finally parted, he ran his fingers through your curly hair one more time and then stepped back. “I don’t want to be responsible if you collapse from exhaustion tomorrow, so I’ll leave you to your bed now.”

And with that, he left you standing at the entrance, feeling lost like a little puppy, holding a bag in your hand as he turned around and made his way home.

“And make sure you give me a sign of life every now and then. Otherwise, I’ll come to get you.”

“Is that a threat or a promise?” you wondered as you unlocked the door to your dorm, your heart pounding. You knew it would take a while for your pulse to calm down. So much for getting a good night’s sleep…

[tokyo-debunkers-headcanons]

Thank you for your service smol o7 this game has been on my thoughts 24/7 lol so it’s nice to see someone writing for it!!

I was hoping I could request some jealousy headcanons about the ghouls being pouty MC is hanging out with others so much because of their missions with other houses. In particular I was hoping for my boy Haku (I know we don’t have a main chapter for him yet but he did have those two chunks of screen time—if he’s too difficult because of not enough info don’t worry about it then!); as well as maybe Jin, Luca and whoever else you’d like!

Thanks again~

Just like another ask i got, I'm gonna write Haku based on the vibe I got from him. This could be proven entirely inaccurate in the later game and I am okay with that lol. I'm gonna round it to an even four characters. All these will be before any relationship actually happens. Like there's a crush there but no one has said anything yet.

And thank YOU for sending in a request and enjoying!

Be aware! These will contain minor spoilers for episode 3!

JIN KAMURAI

I feel like silver spoon Jin has no experience with certain types of jealousy. Materialistic jealousy? Doesn't know her. But when he heard how close MC had been getting with some of those Vagastrom thugs? Oh it made his blood boil.

At first I'm sure he thought it was because on of his orders was being defied. But that feeling only got stronger when MC was finished with Vagastrom and moved onto Jabberwok.

Good luck to Tohma because mans here does not know what to do about these emotions. This is one of those problems that can't be fixed with money and he is NOT happy about it. He goes back to brooding in his room for a while to think things through.

He will not tolerate any disrespect from any theories that the Frostheim gossip elite have. But when he noticed the like dove flying in the direction of MC'S dorm, things suddenly started to click in his head.

LUCAS ERRANT "LUCA"

Our boy here is another one who isn't necessarily familiar with jealousy. Its for similar reasons of, he comes from a well off family, but different in the way he was raised and things he's been through as a little kid.

He's glad to see MC making more friends and making possible progress on breaking their curse, at first. When they get to Jabberwok however, he hears from Kaito that their vice captain Towa is a bit of (how Kaito put it), "a fucking weirdo", which gives him some pause.

When Kaito came running up to Luca showing him a WickChat post about MC having a possible boyfriend (its false, its just Towa being affectionate and someone saw). He feels his heart sink a little bit

He made a mental note to text MC later to ask about it and get all the information he could about their relationship and about the Jabberwock students. He promised to protect MC not matter what. Hopefully they could explain the strange twist in his chest while they talked too.

ALAN MIDO

He doesn't really get jealous. Period.

I think he's the kind of guy to know how strong he is, he knows his reputation. He's tech hopeless, not a moron. So just being around him can scare off people from getting too close to MC while he's around.

He himself overheard about MC having a possible boyfriend (same post from Luca's) from Leo telling Sho. He didn't pay any real mind to it until he heard Leo mention how affectionate they were.

That's the one thing he gets jealous about. He's a bit more aware of his feelings than people might think, so he knows he has a crush on MC. He just hasn't had the time to tell them that.

The rumor takes some wind out of Alan's sails for sure. He's more likely to believe that MC would pick someone else over him since I think he'd be more hesitant on something like physical affection.

He knows his strength and he knows MC'S ability, he would be too afraid that he'd lose control and do something else he might regret, so out of everyone on this list. I think Alan would be the one to take longer to confess because of jealousy and his insecurities.

HAKU KUSANAGI

I don't remember if it's explicitly said anywhere (my memory sucks butt I'm sorry) but he gives older sibling energy with how he cleaned up after Taiga in the prologue. So I KNOW he's been worried about MC since they last saw eachother.

He was at least somewhat relieved when he found them hanging out with the Frostheim second years, but there was a pang in his he couldn't quite place. He chalked it up to just being a worrywart and left it alone.

But when he heard that MC had gone missing in episode 3, he was READY to jump in to go help the search and rescue team. His heart was racing and he was suddenly confronted with feelings that were coming out of left field (no they weren't)

When MC returns back safely, Haku has half a mind to go fight with the professor Hyde about sending the very human honor student on such dangerous missions. He keeps a much closer eye on them from now on and with his status as an heir to (what i assume) is a beloved shrine, he tries to request that MC be sent to work with Hotarubi next.

[arrixlive]

!!RANT!!

Am i the only one that’s getting tired and annoyed with the show Detective Conan?? Bc it’s been getting on my nerves for like the past few months now, and I’m just so fucking done with it.

1) First of all, the show has been going on for almost 30 years now (keyword almost actually 28 i think) and it’s only been a few months in the series (even tho there are over 1100 episodes which actually means that almost every episode is a day, taking off 2parters and collected episodes, also excluding the movies. Which means it’s technically been around 2 years and/or more)

2) The relationships are starting to get on my nerves as well platonic/romantic and just the complex relationships between side characters and/or Rivals, Like Kaito Kid & Conan. The romantic relationship between Ran and Schinichi is starting to feel absolutely creepy, useless and boring, especially considering Conan is Kinda her brother now, Ran loves Conan as her little brother, while he is technically her boyfriend (see how that is kinda off putting😃)

(i can make an intire post on the Ranshin relationship another time, if people want my opinion)

The characters that suddenly come in and all just start hounding on Conan/Shinichi is also getting really fucking annoying, it’s like it’s starting to turn into a harem but only for… fans…?? Does that make sense? Bc we know Canon is ShinRan but the creator is starting to put A LOT of Coai into the movies and series, and I’m like.. dude… I have no issues with shipping different characters, but that the creator is putting it INTO THE literal anime is kinda annoying, it’s like he’s creating Drama and love triangles on purpose, even tho the anime had NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT??

(Haibara, Sera, Ran, Ayumi and another girl, forgot her name tho. All these characters have interest in schinichi/Coan)

It’s just annoying how Gosho keeps ruining duos and relationships. Like i love the the Kaito kid episodes with Conan, they’re just my favorite, but Gosho pretty much just added Amuro into the loop for no reason?!? Like i just don’t like Amuro (never did, but i didn’t go out of my way to ignore him, he’s important to the story) but adding him into a Rivalry that’s been going on for so long, and has its own special ring to it and special rules between two people with a double life, that only trust each other, when their life depends on it, it just ruined my intire love and experience for the episode.

3)The end?? I literally cannot see a good ending to this show. The only reasonable answer, in my opinion would be: Conan moves back to America and pretty much just loses contact with the others, or he died (doesn’t add up in the end either) and everyone forgets him over time, so schinichi can come back. There literally is no good ending to this show, even if people figured out Conan was schinichi (in fact i think that is the worst ending)

I should probably explain more but I’m kinda in a rush and I’m probably gonna edit this slightly later, but this is already long so if ya have any questions I’ll try to answer and make a post about it, to be more clear

hiii! kaito fluff plsplsplslpslsplspspslsplslsps <3

My first request yay! And it's for kaito, perfecttt!he's my favourite vocaloid! I made it a college au because well- he's a piece of software. Imagine simping for software, couldn’t be meeee- I hope this is what you were looking for!!

KAITO x gn reader fluff

College AU

Summary: You and Kaito are stressed due to the rapidly approaching exam season, and have been spending less and less time together, though tonight you finally caught him at a time when you were both free.

Word count: 833 words

Its been awhile…

Another day, another lecture, another tedious assignment, and worst of all, another day closer to final exams. At this rate you were convinced you’d get grey hairs from all the stress you were under. And it was no different for your favourite blue haired man.

Kaito had been under a lot of pressure too, he’d been studying day and night without break.

At this rate, even though you lived in the same apartment, neither of you saw each other. You were always in the university library, looking for books to study and reviewing your papers. Kaito was either sitting with his headphones in at the desk in your shared bedroom, unmoving for hours, or in a cafe somewhere down town, doing the exact same thing. He said the bustling atmosphere around him and the blasting music in his ears helped him focus, something you couldn’t relate to.

Your relationship grew further and further apart the closer exams got. As of late, you didn’t even wake up next to each other. Kaito fell asleep on the desk, face buried in his notes, and you were too exhausted to even bother haul him back into bed. Though you’d always make sure to throw a blanket on your boyfriend before you slept. Weeks go past and you only ever speak in the mornings, a rushed, meaningless kiss to the cheek before he leaves for his first class and you quickly leave too.

Tonight, though, to your surprise, you came home to find Kaito sitting on the couch in the living room. An unusual sight indeed. He was fast asleep, his head resting against the back of the couch as the tv blared whatever show he’d been watching before he passed out. You thought maybe you should use this opportunity. You hadn’t really spent quality time in months, even laying together on the couch would be something.

You dropped your bag onto the floor by the door and walked over to Kaito.

His blue hair looked tangled, clearly he hadn’t been caring for it as much as he usually did, his eyes were gently shut and his lips were parted. Even in his dishevelled sleeping state, he was beautiful. Due to how hard he’d been studying, he had to cancel all his singing gigs. You knew he loved it a lot, and at home, you’d even sing together. So you could understand why that may have added to his distress.

You sat down next to him and moved his head onto your chest.

As you did that, it must have woken him up because he pushed you over until you were lying on the couch and he was lying on top of you. You moved his blue hair out of his forehead before giving it a kiss.

“I miss you so much, Kaito,” you whispered into his ear. You heard him humm in agreement. His voice wasn’t too deep but it was rich and velvety.

“I missed you more, darling,” he said groggily. His tone was sweet and honey-like. His voice always gave you goosebumps.

He moved his face closer to yours and leant down to give you a kiss. It wasn’t lustfull, it wasn’t rushed nor slobby. It wasn’t meaningless either, like the ones in the morning. It was full of pure romance. Unadulterated love and passion. It was intoxicating and his lips tasted like vanilla ice cream.

You disconnected the kiss with a sigh.

“Kaito, I know you’re stressed and busy, I am too, but we have to start trying to make more time for each other,” You said, staring straight into his deep blue eyes. He moved his hand and caressed your cheek.

“I agree, I've missed you. It’s been unbearable. The moment these exams are over, I’ll spend every minute of my day lying in your arms,” He said while averting his eyes from your gaze.

A light blush dusting his face as a meek smile rests on his lips.

“I can't wait,” you smiled before leaning up to capture his lips in another kiss. This time it was shorter than the last one, but just as full of love. Though as you let go of his lips he just kissed back again and again. He smiled into the kiss and laughed lightly.

He went straight into peppering your face with lots of kisses. He giggled like a child as he kissed your cheeks and then your forehead, the side of your mouth and eyes. He raked his hands through your hair and gave your head a kiss too.

You laughed and pushed him off you. Kaito sat up and you followed. He presses your foreheads together and looks you straight into the eyes while holding your face. His hands were cold, as usual, but they felt good on your burning cheeks.

“I love you so much, I missed this. I really did,” Kaito breathed out. You felt his hot breath against your face and smiled.

“I love you too, Kaito. So much.”

[g0nta-g0kuhara]

re: the maki ask. i think people talk about misogyny with maki’s arc because where shuichi is touched and tangibly impacted by the presence of kaito in his life, maki goes from point a to point a with a boyfriend. like her characterization doesn’t move beyond her threatening to kill people and responding to situations with violence, she doesn’t apologize for trying to kill everyone and betraying shuichi, she just is suddenly said to have “changed” because she loved a man. and she hasn’t changed. and every moment that she’s on screen becomes about the impact that kaito has had on her in the meantime. (maki and himiko also kind of get shafted in trial six and spend a lot of time just regurgitating words and phrases, outside of maki’s moment where she says she’ll sacrifice herself to kill tsumugi and proves she hasn’t changed even a little bit because she’s still trying to kill the mastermind.) i don’t know. i don’t think people mean to say it’s misogynistic that maki loves kaito i think people mean to say her writing wouldn’t be like this if she wasn’t a woman. because we get to see fuyuhiko whose arc also revolves around his love for another person visibly grow and shift and spend time with OTHER people who he then values and apologizes for hurting. there’s actual growth there, a real character arc. the most you could say about maki is she touched grass :(

Anon while you have a point about Himiko and Maki's characterization in trial 6, I completely disagree that maki doesn't change at all throughout the game. I'm shocked you can even say that? How can you look at chapter 1 Maki and pre-trial chapter 5 Maki and say "this is the exact same character. Nothing significant has happened to her over the course of the game."

I have been a long time hater of forced romance plots as an aro ace person who, as a kid especially, really wanted to connect to female characters without a romance plot overtaking their whole personality. So believe me, I am usually very critical of this kind of plot. And while I would agree it is probably not shown as well as Fuyuhiko's, I would also argue that Fuyuhiko's character arc's climax is in chapter 2, while Maki's is in chapter 5. We don't get to see how Maki interacts with the others differently for nearly as long as we do Fuyuhiko. And she does interact with them SUBSTANTIALLY differently for the short time we see it pre-trial in chapter 6!

Not to mention, its not like she acts one way and completely shifts because of her confession to Kaito. You can slowly see her change from being completely walled off in chapter 1 and 2, to slowly opening to the idea of being around other people, trusting them, and giving them her heart. Its not just with Kaito, but with Shuichi, and Himiko too.

While I agree and I wish she could have apologized to the others after trial 5 for trying to sacrifice them all for her own vendetta against Kokichi, I think the reason it might feel like she doesn't change up to that point is that in chapter 5, she's relapsing on character growth. She's acting how she did in chapter 1 because of an extremely traumatic thing happening to her. Notice how she is with Shuichi in chapter 4, right before this. Shes opening up to him, too, in her own awkward way, and trying to support him as a friend for the first time in her life. How is that not character growth?

And also, while the way she voices the change in chapter 5 post trial does ring similar to romance-poisoned characters I disliked so much as a kid, I think there's more to it than just what she's saying in the moment. From a watsonian perspective, you have to keep in mind that kaito is actively dying, so everything she says is going to be filtered through the fact that he has about 10 minutes before he keels over. And from a doylist perspective, the changes in her character are extremely visible outside of him and outside of that moment, just a bit more subtly than her post-trial confession.

Is it perfect? No. There's definitely some misogyny in how she is written, I won't deny this. DR is DR, after all. But I don't think it's nearly as bad as you're making it out to be.

Middle of the Night

extremely self-indulgent fic,,, as i continue to drown in coursework,,, might post another one later though,,,,

this fic contains: burps, hiccups, SFW content (though its kinda spicy), belly kink, belly rubs, bellyache

ship: s.aimota

TLDR: s.huichi eats way too much in the middle of the night, and it wakes k.aito up.

“ Hmmmp - urrrp! “

“ Mmmmrrrrrpp… Ooh, owww… “

“ BUUURP! “

Kaito let out a grunt as he woke from his sleep. Blinking away the grogginess, he squinted into the darkness, trying to discern the source of the noises that woke him up. There, he saw the refrigerator's dim light that illuminated the small kitchenette, making Shuichi’s presence known. The detective was hunched over, sitting on a chair, an empty gallon of ice-cream and an empty bottle of ginger ale accompanying him.

Kaito couldn’t see it yet, but Shuichi was nursing his overworked belly. Over the past few months, he had unintentionally gained a significant amount of weight, and his once slim figure now boasted a noticeable softness, especially around his midsection. Though, to Shuichi’s surprise, Kaito had found himself appreciating Shuichi's new look. He loved the way Shuichi's belly now jiggled when he moved and how it felt pleasantly soft to the touch. Although, a long day at the office frequently left Shuichi stressed and hungry, which led to gaining even more weight.

And that night was no different. Shuichi had succumbed to his hunger in the middle of the night, eating an entire tub of chocolate ice cream. And, to no one’s surprise but Shuichi’s, that gave him quite the bellyache - so he tried to soothe his overactive gut with ginger ale. Which only made matters worse. The chubby surface was pulled taut, and his pajama shirt strained against the newfound roundness, buttons threatening to pop open with each labored breath.

"Shuichi?" Kaito called out, his voice a low murmur. "What are you doing?"

Startled, Shuichi jumped. But this only jostled his already upset belly, resulting in a moan from both the detective and his large belly. Kaito sighed, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. He forced himself to get up from the sofa-bed, circling into the kitchen with a tired saunter.

"Seriously, Shuichi? It's the middle of the night, what’s going on – … Woah.”

A sheepish expression played on Shuichi’s face as he tried to turn away from his boyfriend, hands holding his belly. Feeling the need to explain himself, Shuichi babbled,  “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up – I was just so hungry, work leaves me s-so - HIC! - so stressed, and – “

“God, you’re cute,” Kaito cut him off, not bothering to hide his glances over Shuichi’s body. The way his bloated, stretchmark-littered gut strained against the pajama shirt he had just bought a week ago sent a shiver down the aspiring-astronauts spine. “You look so stuffed… C’mon, let me help you into bed, hm?”

Shuichi’s face turned a deep shade of red, though he graciously accepted his boyfriend's offer. Kaito offered a hand to help Shuichi up from the chair, but as the detective stood, another sudden hiccup erupted from him. A pitiful whine escaped the detective, his hands quick to nurse his gut.

"Careful there, babe,” Kaito snorted, though his hand was inching towards Shuichi’s mountainous belly as well. The other hand resting on his back. Kaito guided him back to their sofa bed – the detective wincing with each step as his stomach protested the excessive indulgence. As they approached the bed, Shuichi sighed in relief when Kaito gently guided him to sit down, the soft mattress giving way to the weight of his overindulged belly.

"Alright, Shu, time to get you comfortable," Kaito announced, pulling back the covers.

Shuichi scooted himself back further into the bed, his belly protesting the movement with another hiccup. He winced, a hand still cradling his stuffed midsection. Kaito couldn't help but admire the sight: Shuichi's rounded belly straining against the confines of his pajama shirt. And then he laid back, and Kaito fell deeper in love. Kaito was unable to see his boyfriend's face behind the prominent mound of his bloated stomach – he could only observe the mountainous organ move up and down with each breath, his tummy barely being able to stay confined behind the buttons of his pajama shirt.

Kaito stood at the foot of the bed, surveying the scene with a playful smirk. "You really outdid yourself tonight, Shuichi. You should have woken me up.” Then, the aspiring-astronaut circled the soda-bed once more, taking a seat next to Shuichi, his gaze laser-focused on Shuichi's bloated belly. Though Kaito gently ran a hand over Shuichi's bloated belly, feeling the warmth beneath his touch. He began to massage Shuichi's stomach in slow, circular motions, eliciting a low, contented murmur from the detective. As Kaito's hand moved in slow circles, he felt the occasional rumble beneath his fingers, evidence of the excess gas building up in Shuichi's stomach.

A strained, sudden and unexpected burp escaped Shuichi's lips, surprising them both. It was a deep, resonant sound that echoed in the quiet room. Kaito chuckled.

"You know, Shuichi, I've been thinking," Kaito began after a moment of silence, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I really like this new you. The whole 'soft and squishy' thing you've got going on? It's pretty cute. I really like seeing you like this… not stressed, obviously, but I’m loving the weight you’ve been putting on.”

Shuichi squeaked, blushing even more. Kaito leaned over, pressing several kisses to Shuichi’s cheek and neck. “K-Kaito, please – EUURRRP! ” the detective whimpered, unable to suppress another belch.

The aspiring-astronauts lips pulled away, and another chuckle fell from his lips as he continued to gently rub Shuichi's belly “Sorry, it’s like I can’t help myself.”

Another moment of silence, as Kaito kept running both hands over Shuichi’s distended tummy. Although Shuichi’s belly still gurgled and groaned in protest, found himself becoming drowsy under the tender care of Kaito. Shuichi's eyes grew heavy, and Kaito's reassuring touch lulled him into a peaceful slumber – or a food coma. Once Kaito noticed, he smiled softly, planting a soft kiss to the side of his head.

“Goodnight, baby,” he cooed. A final gurgle erupted from Shuichi’s belly, answering the aspiring-astronaut.

And soon without realizing it, Kaito started to succumb to the soothing atmosphere. Kaito found his own eyelids drooping as he continued the gentle belly rubs. And eventually, the room fell into a quiet, restful silence as the pair slept under the gentle glow of the moonlight seeping through their apartment window.

Shuichi Saihara (Danganronpa V3)

"sorry for submitting a danganronpa character but hear me out!! there's many reasons shuichi is a relatable character, such as: 1. he's def lgbtq+ actually. in the free time events with kaito momota (another male character), shuichi's inner monologue says "only someone like him could tell me what i need to hear." before he internally scolds himself saying he "shouldn't talk about another boy like that" 2. self doubt. throughout the game, he doubts his detective skills a lot. well, in earlier chapters. he grows out of it but yk. he feels like he isn't a "real detective" n all 3. a. autism. throughout the entire prologue and chapter 1, he wears a hat to avoid eye contact. while there is an actual reason that isn't autism, i still think that's autism behavior. also he seemingly knows a lot about true crime and at one point, when another character brings up the victorian era, he responds by mentioning jack the ripper. 4. he's very sad. chapter 1? cries. chapter 3? cries. chapter 5? cries. chapter 6? cries. he might've cried other times i don't remember though. although it is fair bc people are dying. but even outside of the death, he is sad. refer to number 2. also he feels like he shouldn't have solved the case that made him the ultimate detective. (there are reasons for that. also linked to the hat.) and more"

"seven of nine is a big ball of identity questioning in one person. she literally has a whole section on her wiki page titled "identity crises". mood. as a child she's snatched up and made part of a hivemind, all these cyborg augments put into her, the usual scifi stuff. but her story begins when she's freed. against her will, even if it's ultimately for the best. she has no idea how to relate to these people, how to speak or act or dress or sound. big autism mood. big trans mood. big gay mood, because she has no idea what anyone is supposed to do when dating and it turns out she's into women and ends up with a girlfriend so it's no wonder she couldn't connect to all the lessons about boyfriends and the attempt to date a man! multiple times she's forced to assimilate and act more "human" and change her name but she won't! and the people who make an effort to understand end up important found family and friends. and she ends up in control of her own life and a captain!! legend."
